There are some funny moments here and there, and a few good lines. But those elements are few and far between — not a good thing for a comedy.

The show, written by D. R. Anderson and directed by David Clingan, is about children's book illustrator Andy (Ken DeZarn) who, with his ex-wife Ellen (Allison Worthey), created a popular series about a bear named Beanie. The books ended when their marriage did; a TV network would like to put Beanie's adventures on television, a plan that brings an executive (Toni Appelt) into Andy's orbit. Naturally, there are a variety of complications.

It's the kind of play in which Andy tries to resolve an awkward moment with a “Beer Barrel Polka” sing-along, and everyone in the scene goes along with it for no apparent reason. And it's the kind of play in which a mostly brittle character is referred to as “whimsical,” though there is no indication that that's remotely true.

“Funny Valentines” can be seen at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through March 16 at the Boerne Community Theatre, 907 E. Blanco Road in Boerne. Tickets range from $13 to $19. Call 830-249-9166 for reservations or visit boernetheatre.org to buy tickets online.
